ALGORE is taking a beating right now because of his new religion of Global Warming.
As goes Global Warming, so goes ALGORE.
Yeah, boy, winning an Academy Award and being considered for a Nobel Prize nust really be taking it out of him. I wonder how he manages to keep himself going these days.
The worst thing that could have happened was winning the Academy Award for that stupid scare mongering movie. Ever since then the movie has been discredited, and proved to be as truthful as your typical Michael Moore flick. That's where ALGORES troubles started.
BTW, Rush Limbaugh was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. So I don't get your point on that?
At least Rush didn't have to lie to the people to get nominated.

Thats nonsense. I firmly believe that the wealthy should be taxed accordingly and that if anyone should have a tax burden lifted off them its the poor and the middle classes and that does not make we want to go out and shoot anybody...

And if [Al Gore] does [run] how do you think he would fare against the likes of Hillary, Barack and company? I think he will decide to run, despite his statements to the contrary. Deep down inside, he really believes he can be a good president and let's face it, losing the election in 2000 while winning the popular vote has got to rankle just a little bit, don't you think? What are your thoughts? [Edited by Don W]

My hope is this . . Obama and Clinton so bloody themselves during the primary that neither one gets the votes to take the convention and no one will want them and for the first time in a long time the door is thrown open for a dark horse candidate. Into that Gore could toss his hat and easily come away with the nomination. To date there isn't a Republican candidate with the brains or the stature that he does and I seriously think he could do it. Either Gore Richardson or Gore Edwards would make a great ticket.

The "Fair Tax" plan is based on the premise that everytime you buy something, you pay tax on it. Simple. That means drug dealers, illegal immigrants, and rich people would pay the same taxes as everybody else. That to me sounds fair. Hence the name? I'm sure you'll find some fault with that as well. I'm not trying to be mean, but it just seems as though you're doing the typical Democrat thing by shooting down ideas and not coming up with any. What ideas do you have? I'd be glad to hear them.

What about Al Gore as a left wing third party candidate? I know that Gore wouldn't have a chance at winning if he ran on a third party ticket. But given the current state of the Dems (no actually plans or values just scoring points off the woeful Bush admin) Gore may be inclined to join a third party ticket if he wanted to run again. I'm not saying that Gore will join a third party ticket but I am putting the idea out there for discussion. [Edited by Don W]

Last on, Americans have never engaged in thoughtful discussions of political philosophies, as has often been the case in Europe, especially in France. And the UK as in 1945. Americans are entirely pragmatic when not being opportunistic. Americans don’t give a dam what you think as much as they give a dam about what you do. Americans know only that Hobbes and Hume both begin with the letter “H.” Let us not unduly complicate matters.
